Chapter 20 Wearing the Ring Finger
Yun Qianyi lowered his head and kept rummaging in his sleeves, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, the pair of fox eyes curved, and with a gentle smile, he opened the exquisite little wooden box in his hand, and a jade ring appeared in front of Jun Yanci.

The imperial green jadeite material is obviously a priceless treasure at first glance.

After Yun Qianyi took out the ring, Jun Yanci handed his left hand to her, feeling conscious and well-behaved, with an expression of joy that could not be concealed in his eyes.

She gestured at Jun Yanci's five fingers one by one, and sure enough, the ring finger was just right.

However, in this fictional ancient dynasty, people always wore rings on their thumbs to show their noble status.

"Thank you Miss Yun for the gift. I am very happy."

Jun Yanci spoke in a low, magnetic voice with a smile on his face, not caring about these details at all. He didn't need anything to show his status because he himself was noble.

Yun Qianyi's right hand was held by him, and after hesitating for a moment, he remained motionless. He chose to use his left hand to take out the cylindrical spice particles from the sachet on his waist.

"Do you remember the man we rescued at Grandmother's house last time?"

Jun Yanci tightened his left hand slightly, his mind filled with the word "we".

Yun Qianyi noticed that although he didn't say anything, his fingers were still stroking the back of her hand, so she continued:

"He is the servant of the young master of the Sheng family. When the young master of the Sheng family came to the mansion to express his gratitude, he specially handed this to me. But the servant is not fully awake yet, so I don't know what it means."

Jun Yanci took the spice with his right hand, looked at it carefully, and put it under his nose to smell it.

"These are the spices used in the feast that day."

He is very sensitive to smells, so he remembers the smell.

Yun Qianyi also checked at Duke Jiang's Mansion. This spice was bought by Mother Yu, who was in charge of purchasing for the Jiang family. Mother Yu had been working in the Mansion for more than 40 years. Three generations of her family lived in the Mansion. It was impossible for her to harm the Jiang family.

Besides, there’s really nothing wrong with this spice.

"Logically, I was on the boat and not at the table the whole time, but I was also infected. Your Highness stayed there longer than me, why didn't you react?"

This is also what Yun Qianyi can't figure out, so she is sure that Jun Yanci is the only breakthrough.

Because she had just drunk some wine, Yun Qianyi's face was as pink as a rose, which was very beautiful. Her charming fox eyes were hazy and shimmering in the reflection of the candlelight.

Jun Yanci was fascinated by the beautiful scenery before him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, the hangover soup is ready."

"Enter."

After Xuan Liu opened the door and saw the hands of the two masters in front of him, he immediately turned around and stopped the servant who wanted to bring the soup in, blocked his sight, took the tray, and motioned for him to go down first.

After seeing the servant go downstairs, Xuan Liu lowered his head and went in. Without looking away, he put the sobering soup on the table, then quickly retreated, not daring to look at him any more.

"I'm not drunk~"

Yun Qianyi raised his eyebrows, who was he looking down on?

Jun Yanci picked up the soup spoon with his right hand, blew on it twice, and put it to her mouth. Seeing that Yun Qianyi didn't open her mouth for a long time, he took her left hand and shook it slightly twice.

"Be good, drink something, it warms your stomach."

Although he was coaxing her, Yun Qianyi only heard his coquettish tone.

So Qian obediently opened his mouth and drank the soup, mouthful after mouthful, until the bowl was empty.

"Tea." Yun Qianyi suddenly remembered, leaned forward and asked:
"Did you drink the tea?"

Jun Yanci subconsciously stretched out his right hand and supported her waist, fearing that she would fall.

"That cup of snow-capped green? Not yet."

At that time, he was extremely anxious, fearing that Yun Qianyi would be snatched away by someone if he was a little late, so he had no mind to drink tea. Besides, it was something he was used to drinking every day, so he naturally didn't care.

Yun Qianyi tapped the tabletop with his left index finger and slowly spoke out his guess:
"At that time, except for the children of the noble families, the servants at the banquet had no reaction. This snow-capped jade was a gift from the palace the day before the banquet. Duke Jiang's mansion specially took it out to entertain the guests to show the great grace of heaven."

All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive, just like white wine should not be eaten with persimmons. However, depending on the different physical conditions of each person, the reaction may be as severe as food poisoning or as mild as dizziness.

Therefore, Yun Qianyi guessed that the mixture of tea and incense was most likely the cause of the riot.

Unfortunately, medical conditions in ancient times were limited, and her set of medicine tools was in the Fanyin Pavilion, so Yun Qianyi could not accurately analyze the connection between the two.

"The power in the palace is complicated and intertwined. It may not be easy to find out all the people who handled this tea."

Jun Yanci thought about it and asked, "What about the remaining two people?"

Yun Qianyi felt a little guilty when talking about this. After all, she had vowed not to torture and that everything could be negotiated. But who knew that she would actually break two pairs of arms.

As a result, when they saw Yun Qianyi's face the next day, they were so scared that they both bit their tongues and committed suicide.

"Well, something unexpected happened and the clues were cut off."

She folded her hands, sat back, blinked her eyelashes rapidly, and touched the tip of her nose with her hand.

Jun Yanci looked at her little expression, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and stroked the ring finger of his left hand with his right hand.

"I have already sent someone to investigate the imperial physician. There is nothing wrong with it. Yun Xiuyi's pulse records will just be recorded every month."

Yun Qianyi raised his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, have you seen those pulse cases?"

Jun Yanci nodded gently, recalling and saying: "The internal organs are hot and blazing, the heart and kidney are occasionally out of sync, the spleen and stomach are damp and hot, and the heart is deficient in fire."

After hearing the end, Yun Qianyi understood. Yun Xiuyi's physique was recorded so clearly that anyone with the intention could get the information and make a poison specifically for him.

It seems that there are masters in this imperial city.

-

The next day was a family banquet for the entire palace. As the right prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yun Han was invited to the imperial city every year to spend New Year's Eve in the palace.

Also traveling with them were Yun Xiuyi, Wen Jingxian, and Yun Chengyi.
Yun Qianyi, who was unable to go out due to "illness", was alone in the warehouse where spices were stored, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Finally, she found it, but the word on the box was "Wen".

Yun Qianyi thought for a long time. If it was really Wen Jingxian, then no matter how she tried to probe, she would alert the enemy. If not, then her sister-in-law would definitely blame herself and feel sad. After all, the incense she used every day was the source of Yun Xiuyi's legs not being able to heal, and it was even a poison that would kill him.

So she returned to Yaoguang Pavilion, sent away all the servants in the courtyard, changed her clothes, and then stood at the door and shouted:
"Xuan Xiaoqi!"

Yun Qianyi knew that people like them who practiced martial arts had profound internal strength and their hearing was farther than that of ordinary people. Xuan Qi was specially left in the dark in the Yun Mansion by Jun Yanci to protect Yun Xiuyi. He must be very skilled and would be in the Yun Mansion all the time.

She counted down to ten in her mind and it was true.

Simple Xuan Xiaoqi: "Hey~! This!"

Fox Qian smiled evilly: "I'll take you to a good place."
